BACKGROUND The City's Operations Services Department, Streets Maintenance Division oversees and maintains 7,003 street, parking lot and pathway lights. It is not always practical, nor cost effective for City staff to perform certain maintenance functions that are essential to keep our City's street lights in good order. Out-sourced contracting has been the solution when cost evaluations determine that the work can be provided at a lower cost by out-sourced contractors and in situations where City staff does not have the specific trade expertise nor the required specialized equipment, as is the case with street, parking lot and pathway lighting. For that reason, Council previously approved two (2) "as-needed" vendors (St. Francis Electric and Vista Universal, Inc.)for street, parking lot and pathway lighting maintenance and repair services on July 15, 2014. DISCUSSION The original "As Needed" agreements limit the terms to two years; however the City recently is now amending the terms to enable services to be provided by these vendors for a maximum of five years. Additionally, the two subject vendors have held original contract pricing since 2014 and are requesting CPI increases. Authorization of the amendments of the existing two "As Needed" streetlights maintenance agreements with St. Francis Electric and Vista Universal, Inc. to provide an indexed annual increase and to add additional renewal options to both of the agreements for up to a maximum of five years each, will allow continuity in the care of the City's street light assets at the consistently high level of care the vendors have been providing in the past.
